Workshop Safety

Course Description
Working safely is in the interest and concern of all staff, both employers and employees. Health and
safety is one of the few areas where the law places specific duties specifically on employees so a
knowledge of where this applies and how to ensure that it is adhered to is vital to protect individuals
and businesses.
Most workers feel that accidents are something that only happens to other people. The reality is
that too many workers are coming to harm by not observing Health and Safety laws and not working
to safe systems of work – the physical, mental and financial burden of these accidents can have a
huge impact on themselves, their families and their colleagues.
The course covers a wide range of topics including fire safety, asbestos awareness, working at
height, COSHH, PPE and electricity.
It also covers methods for improving safety performance and methods of protecting the
environment.
Target Audience
This course is a great induction course in relation to health and safety as it covers a wide range of
